Updated picture of my Matte Bark Electra Cruiser 1 . I changed out the rear cog to a 24 tooth . I spin out around 11.5-12mph . Awesome for spinning up the small hills in my neighborhood.

Just finished assembly and a 15 mile shake down ride on a BikesDirect Special: Gravity SaltyDog:
I'll provide a more detailed review of the assembly and riding impressions later tonight.

How about that review? I looked this bike up on bikesdirect.com Tempting for $200! I see for $20 more it's available with F/R hand brakes.
What is the weight on this bike? Is that website safe? Looks sketchy.
Thanks.

^ The review is in a separate thread. The bike as delivered is about 29 lbs. Never had an issue with BikesDirect website but I only use PayPal when ordering anything online.

I bought a Mountain bike from them a few years ago and didn’t have any problem . Went through PayPal . But Safari tells me now , the website “ not secure” That doesn’t mean it’s sketchy , it just means it could be , because information isn’t encrypted.

It's an excellent, strong bike. Mine does have an issue though. I had the bottom bracket changed, and the threading was damaged by the bike shop. I'm considering getting another Gravity SS, with the suspension fork, and swapping out all my other parts to it. I highly recommend it.

I really like the look of an IGH my Moto 3i looked so clean, but they are so much more expensive than a derailleur setup and without the available range.
